Pacifying and taming

Throwing any kind of food (except an egg or cream pie) at a domestic animal will make it peaceful and remove any fear effects, even if it is not something that the animal would normally eat.[1] For example, a dog could be made peaceful by throwing a carrot or a lichen corpse, and a horse could be made peaceful by throwing a food ration or a gnome corpse.

If the food is considered a treat, a suitable corpse, or otherwise “acceptable” food, the animal will become tame and will eat the food. The animal is not considered hungry for food classification purposes.
